After firing his way to a brilliant bronze in the 25m rapid fire event at Glasgow 2014, Kristian will represent Team England for a second time at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games.

He also won Great Britain’s first gold medal at the 2013 Australian Youth Olympic Festival, again in the 25m rapid fire event, and represented his country at the 2015 World University Games in South Korea.

His clear talent for target shooting was discovered almost by accident. As a youngster he rode horses and joined his local pony club. It was there that he was introduced to shooting and – once he out-grew his pony – bought a pistol and took up the sport of target shooting instead.

When not studying or training, Kristian enjoys other sports including cross-country skiing, badminton and swimming.
